Let be a point in -plane, which is equidistant from three points and . Let and . Then among the statements (S1) : is an isosceles right angled triangle, and (S2) : the area of is ,
- Aboth are false
- Bonly (S2) is true
- Conly (S1) is true
- Dboth are true

Correct answer: C
- Use the condition that lies in the -plane
Since is in the -plane, So let
- Given that is equidistant from , and
Let Then We equate the squared distances.
(i) Equate and
So, Expanding,
(ii) Equate and
Thus,
Hence,
-
Coordinates of the three vertices
-
Check statement (S1): is an isosceles right triangle?
Compute the side lengths squared.
(i)
So,
(ii)
So,
(iii)
So,
Thus, so the triangle is isosceles.
Now check for right angle: Hence, by Pythagoras theorem, the angle between and is .
Therefore, is an isosceles right triangle.
So (S1) is true.
- Check statement (S2): area of
Since the triangle is right angled at with perpendicular sides its area is
But the statement says area is which is incorrect.
So (S2) is false.
- Final conclusion
- (S1) is true
- (S2) is false
Therefore, the correct option is which means only (S1) is true.
